Let not that which was made by Him possess thee, lest thou lose Him by whom thyself was made.—St. Augustine. What we need in public office is men with less pull and more push. Men big enough to handle great railroads have a hard time handling small wives. The public should not suffer because of controversies between labor and capital. Never fight a drawn battle with your unworthy impulses. Fight them until you are victor over them. Get good out of your vacation. Rest. Enjoy. Relax. Refresh yourself. Forget cares. Leave worry behind. That which is forward-looking in politics, it seems, moves to victory this year; that which is reactionary goes to defeat. The teacher's work is trying at best. Show your appreciation of her faithful unselfish devotion to duty. Tell her occasionally that you are pleased with her work. If Washington's extreme summer heat and sultriness will not hurry up the adjournment of congress, there seems to be no hope that presidential persuasion can do it. Unless to fuss and fret and fume about the weather. Take it philosophically. Adapt yourself to it. By doing so you rob it of much that otherwise might be disagreeable. ARMAMENT FOR DEFENSE NOT OFFENSE The United States wisely keeps itself prepared successfully to defend it if. This point always should be stressed—this Nation's armament is maintained for defensive reasons solely, never for offensive purposes. This country never has and now will wage an offensive war. Its whole history and its traditions do not consist with offensive warfare. This Nation has no grudges to pay; it has no selfish designs of aggression against any nation or people; it has no wars of conquest to participate. In a word, this Nation's attitude has been and is one of friendly relations with all countries and all peoples; not to give intentional offense to any country or people; and to cultivate peace and goodwill. Its armament, therefore, is kept up solely with the intent of protecting itself against any unjust, unwarranted assault upon it by the armed forces of any nation or group of nations. The army and the navy of the United States are, as it were, the locks to doors of the Nation to keep armed invaders out. Locks are not offensive to the honest. Nor is the American armament offensive to any nation that is friendly toward this country and that has no hostile designs upon it. PUT FERVOR INTO FLAG DAY OBSERVANCE Flag Day should be observed as a banner day—as a day worthy of the zestful, devoted attention of each and every loyal American. Should the day fall into neglect; should it be ignored altogether or be observed with indifference, then indeed would it be better were the Flag itself forgotten. For no national calamity could be greater than for the people to disspec the Flag. That would make the decay of patriotism. It would signify an abandonment of Sometimes poor a job a shade.

Alleged profiteering in gasoline stires a tumultuous plaint from ocean to ocean. It is gratifying to note that serious inquiry is to be made. This should be followed by vigorous action, if the results of the investigation warrant. Consumers should not be the victims of exorbitance. There is much greater tolerance in politics than there once was. It is come to pass that a man may differ politically from his neighbor without quarrelling with that neighbor and without considering him lacking in wisdom and discretion. One may be loyal to one's party without being biogated. Broad toleration is in keeping with the spirit of this age. It would be narrow, hurtful and unlike the west for any part of California to belittle or disparage any other part of the state. Nothing is to be gained by such a policy. In truth, it hurts, rather than benefits. The newspaper is pre-eminently the greatest informing instrumentality in the world today. The well-informed person of today wonders how the ancients lived without the daily printed page. The extent to which the newspaper press contributes to general enlightenment now is beyond measure. The newspaper is an absolutely indispensable factor in modern life. PUT FERVOR INTO FLAG DAY OBSERVANCE Flag Day should be observed as a banner day—as a day worthy of the zestful, devoted attention of each and every loyal American. Should the day fall into neglect; should it be ignored altogether or be observed with indifference, then indeed would it be better were the Flag itself forgotten. For no national calamity could be greater than for the people to dissect the Flag. That would make the decay of patriotism. It would signify an abandonment of those exalted ideals which have given fair color to this Nation's history. Happily, no such calamity as this impends. The people love and respect the Flag. They rally to its defense whenever occasion requires. They teach their children to love and respect and revere it. This should be. From earliest years the child should be trained to have the highest regard for the national banner. Flag Day should be an occasion for old and young to contemplate all this glorious ensign has meant and yet means to the United States and to its people. Particularly should the children be given some beautifully impressive lesson, to inspire love and reverence for the Flag. SACRAMENTO justice makes speakers take an oath pledging allegiance to the speed laws and justice for the pedestrian. Oh, noble judge! "MORE COMPLETE distillation at refineries will result in addition of 120,000,000 galolns of gasoline to the annual output" says a news item. Now watch us go up another cent. "WAR MAY BE MORE popular 100 years from now than it is now," says Senator Norris. Let's be optimistic. We may breed some statesmen before then.

DALLYING WITH FREIGHT IT TAKES a month on the average to send a piece of package freight 500 miles in this country if it has to change from one railway line to another. When package freight goes so slow that water transportation is almost everywhere quicker where it is available, even in such a round-abour way as from the Pacific coast to NEW YORK, June 13.—Business certainly does interfere with personal freedom. But wouldn't you think—or haven't you always thought—that the stage was considerably less trying down in its effect than most other occupations in life? It's all a mistake. It's more so. What other business or profession, for instance, puts clauses into its contracts forbidding its principals to marry? None that I ever heard of. When the bookkeeper announces his matrimonial intentions, the boss or the force of somebody gives him lemonade set and an armchair and maybe he gets a raise on the strength of it. But theatrical managers are including "no marrying" clauses and the gain of a wedding ring means the loss of a job. "The public doesn't like its ingenuity or even its tragedians to have a husband and a baby at home. It wants them all to itself," declares one manager. Some theatrical lawyers are insisting that such a contract is against public policy; that weddings are too important in life to be thus disposed of. But the contracts remain. They are no worse, at that, than those forbidding an actress getting fat. Yes, there are actresses right here on Broadway who have to stay slender or null their contracts, and that's pretty tough, because after all, getting married it a voluntary matter and something you can decline, while getting fat contends with out any intention on the part of the person in question. A house of particularly romantic history has just been sold here. It is at 17 King street, and was originally owned by Aaron Burr. Later on, in 1825, Alexander Hamilton II came into possession of it. This was twenty-one years after Burr killed Hamilton, the Revolutionary statesman, in a duel. The house touches on an alley known as Congress street. At the time Burr owned the property this was a cowpath, and the story runs that Burr in a satirical mood gave Comments on What Editor MORAL RECEIVERSHIP Franklin R. Roosevelt, at the head of the new American Construction Council, takes his place alongside of Judge Landis and Will Hays in the small but rapidly growing class of receivers for big business in moral distress. Mr. Roosevelt is presumably to enjoy the same wide powers in regulating—and deodorizing—the associated building industries of the country that Landis has exercised in cleaning up baseball and Hays in cleaning up the movies. It is true that the harsh phrase "cleaning up" does not occur in the articles of incorporation. The technical aims are organization and coordination and efficiency and economy. But it is a wide-open secret that these men have been called to the rescue of industries that have "got in bad with the public." For Mr. Roosevelt's new organization it is admitted that the main purpose is to restore public confidence in the building industry. Any day may see the selection of a prominent public man as moral receiver for the badly run down theatre industry. Regret for our failure to apply business methods to government and politics is not as familiar as it used to be a few years ago. It would be hardly in place now, with the business men turning to the public men to pull business out of its own mess. The president was established nearly twenty years ago, when the insurance business, after its exposure by Hughes, turned to Grover Cleveland to save it from public oblivion and to get its feet on the right path. Skepetics at that time suggested that the task for which Mr. Cleveland was hired was not to cure but to white-wash. The same skepticism has found expression in regard to Landis and Hays. But both men have already shown that they regard themselves as something more than a facade. Landis did a very brave thing in the discipline of Ruth, and we suspect that Hays has resisted fairly heavy pres- DALLYING WITH FREIGHT IT TAKES a month on the average to send a piece of package freight 500 miles in this country if it has to change from one railway line to another. When package freight goes so slow that water transportation is almost everywhere quicker where it is available, even in such a round-abour way as from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic by the Panama canal; where it moves so slow that one could drive a cam of horses hitched to a dray 200 miles and deliver a package of freight quicker than the railway will do, something/mentally or morally is wrong with the carrier. In law there is a degree of carlessness which "amounts to constructive malice." In transportation there is such a degress of inefficiency as to amount to constructive sabotage. COUNCIL will regulate the automobiles "without drivers." But the pedestrians "without autos" will continue to get bumped. WEIGHING ABOUT TWO OUNCES THREE CHEERS! The great Joint Congressional Commission on Agricultural Inquiry has given birth to a report. The public is a blamed fool. It took months of time, 15,000 questionaires to individuals and corporations and technical assistance of trade associations in 200 industries, but, at least, the child is delivered. The high cost of things is largely due to wasteful marketing and waste by the public of things marketed. Anybody not already knowing this can get stuffed with fuller information by addressing Washington. What's going to be done about it? Oh, nothing! REV. W. L. RILEY, Portland, Or., refused a baseball pass. Gee! but psychology in this nation is far from normalcy! HENRY FORD HENRY FORD'S enthusiastic neighbors are booming him for the presidency. Henry, no doubt, is too smart to listen. If he does it will be his most foolish move since his Peace Ship hit the rocks. A house of particularly romantic history has just been sold here. It is at 17 King street, and was originally owned by Aaron Burr. Later on, in 1825, Alexander Hamilton II came into possession of it. This was twenty-one years after Burr killed Hamilton, the Revolutionary statesman, in a duel. The house touches on an alley known as Congress street. At the time Burr owned the property this was a cowpath, and the story runs that Burr in a satirical mood gave the pretentious name to this little byway. Judge Wauhope Lynn has owned the house for the past thirty-two years. The "Passetto" and the "Ondulade" are the latest dances from Paris to displace the "shimmy." The "Passetto" is an Italian invention dance to a waltz rhythm, and the "Ondulade" is an adaptation of the Spanish Schottische. Another new dance decreed by Paris and now being taken up here is a fox-trot novelty which is more gliding and languorous than the one we have known for the past few years. The green room of the Earl Carroll Theatre is to be a real green room, next fall, according to Mr. Carroll's plans, with library, fireplace, and all that went with the green rooms of former days. It is to serve as a meeting place for celebrities, and Hugh Walpole has already agreed to give an intimate talk there. There is still money in our midst. That is quite evident when we hear that a $7,500,000 loan for the City of Prague was taken as quick as it was put on the market here the other day and that $25,000,000 for Brazil went with equal celerity. — If it's from Witman's it's good.
